It has been a very long time since I purchased a pack of trading cards looking for a player I really like and hoping to get that card.
The other day I was in a soccer store pricing some items when I noticed that there were some UEFA Euro 2008 cards at the front counter. On a whim I decided to grab a couple cards and hope for ... a Freddie ...
So, I went outside to the van and opened packs like I had not done in many, many years ... and I got a Cristiano Ronaldo in the first pack, which was cool ... top card even ... and then a double of his in the final pack.
But ... on the third pack of five (with only 6 cards a pack and a couple hundred players the odds were not good) there it was ... the third card down.
The captain of Sweden just a few months ago.
The big signing that made the Seattle Sounders FC newsworthy in Europe recently.
A guy who might be shocked to know an ex-Sounder is coaching Spurs.
Freddie.
Hot dang!
